How old is too old to be a judge?

Pennsylvania has been doing things the way Minnesota does them -- judicially speaking -- and that may be about to end. Voters are considering a constitutional amendment to raise the retirement age from 70 to 75.

Twenty-five percent of the vote is in there and it's extremely close -- 1.4% difference -- with raising the age slightly ahead.

Proponents say a longer retirement age would give the courts access to more experience.

Pennsylvania does one thing different than Minnesota, though. Once elected competitively, judges serve 10-year terms and are subject to retention votes in which they run unopposed.

The Youngs in Fla.

During the primary season, Hillary Clinton struggled to win millennials, so the question for her in the general election was always – whether they would support her with the same enthusiasm they showed Barack Obama or transfer that enthusiasm to a third-party candidate.

According to the exit polls out of Florida, Clinton is down eight percentage points with YOUNG voters compared with Obama.

Obama won millennials in Florida by 34 percentage points (he did much better with young voters in Florida than young voters on average nationally). Clinton is only up 23 points with millennials in Florida (58-35), according to the current exit polls.

The problem for Clinton is that about 7 percent of young voters are likely opting for a third-party candidate (“other/no answer,” according the exit polls). Florida is a young state, about one of every five voters is under the age of 30, and so they could very likely swing Florida.

Early good signs for House Republicans

It was already going to be a longshot for Democrats to hit the 30 seats they need to take back the House, but they’re falling short in some races they need to win in order to get at least mid-to high-teen pick-ups.

Florida House races are a good sign for the GOP. Freshman Rep. Carlos Curbelo won re-election in his Miami district in a rematch with controversial former Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia. Curbelo opposed Trump, but there was still some worry he be dragged down by him in the heavily Latino district. But that didn’t happen.

Republicans also got a pick-up along the Treasure Coast in the seat occupied by Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy, who lost to Marco Rubio in the Senate race. Army vet Brian Mast, who lost both his legs in Afghanistan, defeated environmental clean-up company owner Randy Perkins. Democrats grumbled privately that Perkins was a difficult, volatile candidate. Republicans win one of their few offensive opportunities tonight.

Two re-drawn Florida districts that were expected to flip for Democrats did, giving them a net two pick-up. Most notably, former Gov. Charlie Crist -- the Republican-turned-Independent-turned-Democrat, who lost the Senate race in 2010 and then the governor’s race two years ago -- has won a House race that changed in Democrats’ favor after court-ordered redistricting, defeating GOP Rep. David Jolly.

Hann has a fight in SD 48

That's quite a race in Senate District 48 (Eden Prairie) where incumbent Republican David Hann has fallen behind Steve Cwodzinski, a DFLer, with almost 70 percent of the vote counted. Hann is the Senate Minority Leader. The DFL has been hoping that this race would be a mini referendum on SW light rail.

MinnPost calculated that this is the 3rd highest spending of any Minnesota Senate race.

Watch the moderates

There are a couple big trends to watch among America’s moderates tonight. One is that the share of voters who consider themselves moderate could be continuing its slide. In 2008, 44 percent of voters considered themselves moderate. In 2012, 41 percent did. Right now, exit poll data from CNN shows that 39 percent of voters nationwide consider themselves moderate. And that share is down in a few key background states — in Florida, it’s down from 43 percent to 38 percent. In Virginia, it’s down from 45 to 41.

That makes sense for a nation that many political scientists say is growing ever more polarized. It’s not entirely clear what it means for Clinton and Trump, however. In a few battleground states, like Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, Trump is underperforming Romney among these moderate voters.

However, nationwide (and again, these numbers are still pretty premature and bound to change some), it’s possible that moderates could end up swaying slightly more Republican than they did in 2012. That year, exit polls showed Obama winning them by 15 points. Right now, the gap is 13. That’s still very close to 2012, but the question is what direction that moves in as the night goes on.

Who's losing? The statheads

It may well end up that Nate Silver and his band of merry mathematicians look like the prognosticators they're always cracked up to be before the end of the night. And the polls haven't been closed for that long, but so far, the predictions from fiveThirtyEight and websites that have been in the prediction business are underwhelming at best.

Democrats get first Senate pick up in Illinois

Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth wins the Illinois Senate race, AP projects. She defeats GOP Sen. Mark Kirk, who made a series of gaffes in a race where he was already at a significant disadvantage, given the heavy Democratic tilt of the state.

It’s an important -- but hardly unexpected -- pick-up for Democrats and gives them their first net Senate seat of the night. Democrats need to flip five Senate seats -- or four if Clinton wins the White House -- and this gets them part of the way there. It topped our list of likely Democratic Senate pick-ups all year.

Kirk already had the dubious distinction of being the Republican who represented the bluest state in the country, and he won in 2010, which was a good year for the GOP and he faced a weak Democratic opponent, too. Duckworth is an Iraq war veteran and former U.S. Army pilot who lost both of her legs when her helicopter crashed.

Duckworth ran a good race, but Kirk had a lot of missteps and gaffes, too. The most viral was in a debate when he made a flippant remark about Duckworth’s military service and heritage. Her mother is from Thailand and her father is American, and when she talked about her family fighting in the American Revolution, his retort was, “I'd forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington."
